Hunted By Rosalie

Chapter One

Nigel entered the office to find Sydney arguing loudly with someone. He tried to ignore it but couldn't. On further inspection he saw that it was Derek Lloyd. "What's that scumbag doing here?" He thought as he silently entered Sydney's office.

Derek was whining. "You have to help. It's your fault I'm in this mess."

That remark did not go over well with Sydney. "It's not my fault you pompous asshole............" Sydney had more to say but stopped when Nigel gasped, he had never in the 4yrs they'd been working together heard her call people things. Well, not straight to their face anyway.

"I'm sorry, Syd. I heard yelling. I thought something was wrong." Nigel stuttered as he backed toward the door.

Sydney's face softened. "That's okay, Nigel. Derek was just leaving." Sydney balled up her fists as she said this to emphasise her statement.

Derek took the hint and left quickly. He shoved Nigel out of the way violently when he reached the door. "This is not over, Sydney. You will help."With that he was gone.

Sydney took a couple of deep breaths to calm down. She went over to Nigel and helped him up. "You all right?"

Nigel nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. What was that all about?" he asked while fixing his glasses and putting them in his pocket.

Sydney shook her head. "I'm not exactly sure."

Nigel nodded and began to speak but cut off when the bell for classes rang. Sydney grumbled. "Crap, I'm going to be late, Sorry, Nig. See you later."Sydney grabbed her bag, gave Nigel a quick kiss and ran off to teach her class.

Nigel sighed and went over to his desk to finish marking the tests Sydney hadn't gotten to yet. To himself he said. "I hope it doesn't become anything serious, we've been dating for 4 months and we still haven't gone on a second date."Nigel then began the tedious job of marking the tests, unaware that Sydney had thought the same thing as her class began.

The rest of the day went off without a hitch and they had all but forgotten Derek. Sydney and Nigel agreed to meet for supper later that night. That's when things started to go wrong.

Note: It's short I know but the next chapter is longer. I'm not going to post it until I get at least 5 reviews.
